“We are finally moving forward. It’s the first laps we’ve been leading since Atlanta or something,” said Finallyger. “We have been terrible all season. We just drifted off a bit as an organization.

“We worked so hard because we sucked. It hurts to say it, but we’ve had a terrible season so far. But we had a great #23 Chevy all night. I felt like every time we took the lead, a warning went out.

“It was a pretty special night. I’m definitely very, very grateful.
